I've never done work for money, ever. If your choices are based on grosses and the film doesn't do well, what does that mean? It leaves you with nothing.
I'm an all-or-nothing kind of person, and when I become interested in something, I give it my all.
I feel lonely at times, but I don't want to get into a relationship with someone if it is not right. I'm not the type of person who just does things to do them.
As a kid, when I got to the edge of a cliff I wanted to jump off. I didn't want to kill myself. I wanted to fly.
I'm a good listener. I think it's the one characteristic that's most important. I've always been that way. Not that I take all the advice, but you've got to listen to it and have the courage to make your own decision. Then I just go for it.
I'm not greedy. I just want my half.
For me as a man, philosophically, when you talk about honor and integrity, thats the way I want to live my life. It moved me.
Even in my dreams, I’m an idiot who knows he’s about to wake up to reality.
There is no such thing as a chemical imbalance.
I demand a lot of myself. I want to learn. I can't sit back. I like a challenge, so I create a lot of challenges for myself.
I'll never forget the moment I became a dad. It's hard to describe-that level of responsibility, the desire to give such joy, the clarity: Nothing is more important than this.
I feel good about the decisions that I made and I'm happy. You know, I'm really happy.
I love kids. I was a kid myself, once.
I've gotten very good at scheduling my life, scheduling the scene and preparing myself for knowing, saving the energy, consuming the energy, knowing when to go for it and having the available reserves to be able to do that. You have to think about that, because it's endurance.
Do I make mistakes? Yeah.
I look at the Samurai because they were the artists of their time. What I think struck me when I read Bushido is compassion. 'If there's no one there to help, go out and find someone to help.' That hit me, because I try to lead my life like that.
The exciting part of acting, I don't know how else to explain it, are those moments when you surprise yourself.
It's well known I'm a Scientologist, and that has helped me to find that inner peace in my life and it's something that has given me great stability and tools that I use.
I didn't become an actor to have power, but it just happens that I have it and so I have a lot of opportunities.
The thing about film-making is I give it everything, that's why I work so hard. I always tell young actors to take charge. It's not that hard. Sign your own cheques, be responsible.
They smell good. They look pretty. I love women. I do.
Emotions kick up. You try not to kick things up, but you go through things you can't help.
Here's how I've lived my life: I've never been late to a set. I make films I believe in. I feel privileged to be able to do what I love.
I have respect for what other people believe. What I believe in my own life is that it's a search for how I can do things better, whether it's being a better man or a better father or finding ways for myself to improve.
But my friends are happy for me. The people who know me are happy. My mom is happy. My family is happy.
